Course Learning Outcomes* At the end of the course, students are able to:

1. Express the properties that distinguish fluids from other forms of matter,
and appreciating the broad range of fluid mechanics applications.
2. Solve engineering analysis of fluids systems and interpret the flow
physics through the conservation laws.
3. Analyse fluids at rest using integral and differential calculus, based on
Newton's second law.
4. Examine engineering fluids systems by adopting systems and control
volume methods based on mass, momentum, and energy conserva-
tion, as appropriate.
5. Estimate flowing fluid systems by relating mass, momentum, and
energy conservation laws while appreciating laminar and turbulent flow
models.

Transferable Skills Microsoft Office Software used in preparing laboratory reports.

Synopsis of Course Contents This course is an introduction to fluid mechanics, and emphasizes funda-
mental concepts and problem-solving techniques. Topics to be covered
include fluid properties, fluid statics, fluid kinematics, control volume analy-
sis, internal flows (pipe flows) and external flows (lift and drag).
